PHAEDRA PARKS IS DOMINATING THE HEADLINES! Almost 90% of this episode is discussing all of the Phaedra Parks news that has been breaking the internet over the past week, including news that broke WHILE I WAS RECORDING! Phaedra is coming back to the Real Housewives of Atlanta (Frick n Frack REUNITED), but what were the details surrounding her Married to Medicine exit? Plus: how are Apollo and his new wife involved?

ANOTHER DAY… ANOTHER BAD NEWS CYCLE FOR THE MCU! Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly get another MCU scandal or bombshell report about a beloved MCU actor… BOOM! But maybe the fact that the Flash movie is releasing soon was all of the bad omen we needed. We should have been more prepared. We talk Jonathan Majors, Ezra Miller, and now Tenoch Huerta. We also go over a new show I’m watching (starring Spider-Man Peter Parker Tom Holland), a rumor that I absolutely HATE, and the first four minutes of Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” show. Listen to the episode until the end to hear about the website where you can watch the first four minutes of the premiere episode of “Secret Invasion!”   *** HEY!

Published author, TV writing consultant, and FRIEND Brandon Goode stops by (and by “stops by,” I mean comes to chat for two whole hours), and we get into it ALL! We start off with Bravo: how to get Real Housewives of Atlanta ratings back up, the beauty of Summer House Martha’s Vineyard (and why we’ve eliminated the term “Black Excellence” from our vocabulary), and the Tom-Tom of it all on the UNCENSORED Vanderpump Rules reunions! Then we go over to OWN Network and discuss our FAVORITES over on Belle Collective. We talk Latrice and Cliff at Mbar, Glen popping up at Lateshia’s new home, WHERE IS AIKISHA, and so much more!

THE BELLES ARE BACK, AND THE VANDERPUMP AUDACITY IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH! I needed someone that could discuss reality TV across multiple channels today because… MY BELLES ARE BACK! That’s right: my favorite reality TV show (Belle Collective on OWN) is back, and they are SERVING per usual! Before we get to THE BELLES, we had to talk about all of the audacity, delusion, and GUSTO over on Bravo. Is it time for Lisa Vanderpump to take a backseat and stop pretending she cares about her cast? What is Marlo’s REAL BEEF with Kandi? WHY IS BRIA ON SUMMER HOUSE MARTHA’S VINEYARD?!

IF THERE IS A SCANDAL ON BRAVO, THEN YOU CAN CERTAINLY EXPECT A HULU DOCUMENTARY TO FOLLOW! I’m (of course) joined by my love Mani of the “Mixing With Mani” podcast, and we deep dive into the new “Randall Scandal” documentary on Hulu!

I finally got one of my absolute FAVORITES from Instagram to come on the podcast and discuss… literally every show on Bravo! @BravoAndBotox is here (the Queen of Twitter round-ups and the host of the new podcast “The Bravo Papers”), and we walk through almost all of the shows currently airing on Bravo (and so much more), including: Vanderpump Rules, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Real Housewives of New Jersey, and Summer House Martha’s Vineyard.

IS GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY NOW THE BEST MCU TRILOGY? NO! BUT IT DAMN SURE IS A CONTENDER! I can’t stress enough how much I loved James Gunn’s MCU swan song. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is near-perfect, and it has such a perfect ending for all of the characters that we know and love.

THE HOT TOPICS HAVE RANGE, HONEYYY! Not only do we have to talk about Marvel’s newest entry into the MCU (Deadpool & Wolverine… which I saw twice this past weekend), we have quite the range of hot topics to talk about, including: Peacock and Bravo’s new dating show starring Luann, Gizelle, Ashley, and Shannon, the big news that came out of Comic-Con 2024, Chipotle’s bold statement, and Zendaya’s beef with Euphoria’s creator!

MY GEORGIA PEACHES ARE BACK!! AND BETTER THAN EVER! As you all know by now, I’m currently on vacation, but I scheduled a couple of episodes to release this week for you guys. Next week, however, I’m off OFF! OK?! My forever favorite (Housewives) franchise is back, and they are shadier, funnier, and ACTIVATED…er? THAN EVER! I’m of course talking about the Real Housewives of Atlanta! THat premiere was EVERYTHING, so I had to talk about it. Martell… Kandi… the friends of… Kenya… yes, my Lord, yes. Before that, I discussed the latest episode of Vanderpump Rules. Raquel and Sandoval have yet to have a lack of audacity, and it’s… it’s… yeah. NO SPONSORS! *** HEY!

IT’S A MARVEL MOVIE WEEKEND! AND BOY IS IT ABOUT TIME! The distance between Marvel projects is extraordinary nowadays, but if that ensures amazing quality, then I’m ok with it… I guess. Come get ready for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with me by revisiting (in the most chaotic way possible) the high points of the Guardians in the MCU, including the holiday-themed Special Presentation on Disney Plus! And of course, I drag Vol. 2, per usual. BEFORE ANY OF THIS, I talk about those Fantastic Four casting rumors that have ALL of us in heated discussion.

IN A 24 HOUR SPAN, WE GOT THE MET GALA FASHIONS (MEOW) AND A LEAKED VANDERPUMP RULES TRAILER! WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! Mani and I planned on discussing the Met Gala and the Met gala ONLY… BUT GOD! That leaked Vanderpump Rules finale trailer gooped and gagged EVERYONE, including us. Was Raquel SMILING after actively having an affair with her best friend’s live-in boyfriend? Did Sandoval somehow gain MORE audacity? How long has Schwartz known?! We answer all of those questions before revealing whether or not we’re going to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in theaters or not.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THE SHOWS ARE SO FEW? YOU INVITE YOUR CUZZINS ON! I’ve got my besties here with me today (Kaya and Aaron of the “Bravo! We’re Black” podcast), and the conversation was… ignorant, per usual. We talked about everything from Baddies West and Bad Boys on Zeus to our favorite daytime judges (RIP Judge Jerry Springers). Then, we jump into the very few shows airing on Bravo currently: Real Housewives of New Jersey and Vanderpump Rules.

BLACK MIRROR IS COMING BACK! BLACK MIRROR IS COMING BACK! Once again, I intended to make this a mini-episode (ten… maybe fifteen minutes) and wound up speaking for over half an hour. Fail… but in the best way because I talked about everything YOU wanted me to talk about. You told me all of the scripted shows you’re watching currently and asked a few questions about them too.

ARE Y’ALL HAPPY NOW?! THE LACKLUSTER REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY TRAILER IS FINALLY HERE! It’s been an abnormally quiet week, so I worried what Mani and I would discuss (other than our usual shooting of the SHITE). Then suddenly… out of nowhere… a cast photo for the new season of the Real Housewives of Orange County appeared on social media. Then the trailer followed right after. The trailer… was a trailer.

IT’S ALWAYS A GOOD DAY WHEN I’M JOINED BY MY BROTHER IN CHAOS! The first half of this conversation is truly so random, simply because of who my guest is. You guys are getting a peek into the text messages between Donny Hadfield-Smith (of “I Am the Cute One” podcast) and I. Our randomness this day included everything from Twilight TV series, a Top 35 Musical TV Series list (Star on Fox is SHOCKINGLY low on the list. We riot at dawn), the Love is Blind treatment allegations (teehee), and so much more BEFORE we get into the Bravo of it all.

THERE’S BEEN ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY BEING DISCUSSED ONLINE… AND THAT’S THE TRAVESTY THAT WAS THE LOVE IS BLIND LIVE REUNION. Mani and I get together for our weekly chit chat and discuss the EPIC FAIL that was our Sunday evenings. THANKS A LOT, NETFLIX You know what?

You guys have told me multiples times to hurry and invite Kara Berry of “Everyone’s Business But Mine” onto the podcast, and I was so happy that our schedules finally aligned! Much needed laughter after one of the roughest travel weekends I’ve ever had!

I OWE YOU GUYS MY THOUGHTS ON A FEW THINGS… AND A STORY TIME! As most of you know by now, news exploded over the weekend about Jonathan Majors being arrested for (alleged) domestic abuse.

I teased on Instagram a few weekends ago that I would give you a story time, so why not give it to you on the podcast? Download and listen to this HILARIOUS story now! NO SPONSORS! *** HEY!
